    SOCIOLOGICAL MESS PERPETUATES: NOW THE BRITISH HAVE COME

    There is a British polling agency which is called ComRes. It is said
    to be so influential, that even the international authoritative media
    turn to this agency for polls, such as BBC. Even the director of the
    agency Andrew Hawkins stated November 7 in Yerevan that they are an
    authoritative organization and they are responsible for the results
    of their polls. The reason why he arrived in Armenia was to present
    the results of the poll they conducted in Armenia as the presidential
    election is drawing nearer. The poll was conducted from October 25
    to 31, the respondents were 2000 voters of different social classes,
    age, sex and work. Inaccuracy is 2.2 percent.

    The results of the poll suggest that Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan
    is ahead of all. For instance, the respondents were asked who
    can best solve the internal and external problems. According to
    ComRes, 28 percent of voters think Serge Sargsyan can solve them
    best. 20 mentioned Arthur Baghdasaryan, 19 percent mentioned Raffi
    Hovannisian. Levon Ter-Petrosyan ranks 8 with 6 percent. Geghamyan,
    Vazgen Manukyan and Tigran Karapetyan are ahead of him.

    The two candidates of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun come last.

    Among the fortifiers of the economy, Serge Sargsyan is again the
    first with 33 percent. Raffi Hovannisian is already the second
    with 22 percent. 21 percent mentioned Arthur Baghdasaryan. He is
    followed by Geghamyan, Vazgen Manukyan, the two candidates of the
    ARF Dashnaktsutyun and Levon Ter-Petrosyan with 7 percent. Tigran
    Karapetyan is the last with 7 percent.

    Serge Sargsyan leads the list of the resolvers of the Karabakh issue
    with 45 percent. Raffi Hovannisian comes next with 11 percent, Arthur
    Baghdasaryan has 9 percent, Geghamyan has 8 percent, Vahan Hovanisyan
    has 6 percent, Vazgen Manukyan has 6 percent, Levon Ter-Petrosyan
    has 5 percent, Armen Rustamyan has 3 percent, Tigran Karapetyan has
    2 percent.

    The next issue which ensured the first place for Serge Sargsyan
    as suggested by the results of the poll is the recognition of the
    Genocide. According to ComRes, 34 percent think Serge Sargsyan can
    solve this problem. 20 percent trusts Raffi Hovannisian, 9 percent
    Arthur Baghdasaryan, 8 percent Geghamyan, 7 percent Vahan Hovanisyan,
    6 percent Vazgen Manukyan, 5 percent Armen Rustamyan, 5 percent Levon
    Ter-Petrosyan, and 3 percent Tigran Karapetyan.

    ComRes asked the respondent which candidate can best solve the problem
    of the danger of war. It turned out that Serge Sargsyan can. 40
    percent think so. Raffi Hovannisian ranks 2 with 11 percent, Arthur
    Baghdasaryan is the next with 9 percent, Geghamyan has 8 percent,
    Vazgen Manukyan has 7 percent, Vahan Hovanisyan has 5 percent, Levon
    Ter-Petrosyan has 5 percent, Armen Rustamyan has 3 percent, Tigran
    Karapetyan has 2 percent. The picture is the same with regard to
    the security of Armenia. The only point is anti-corruption efforts
    when Serge Sargsyan is not a leader. Serge Sargsyan and Arthur
    Baghdasaryan are given 20 percent. Raffi Hovannisian is the second
    with 17 percent. He is followed by Geghamyan, Vazgen Manukyan, Vahan
    Hovanisyan, Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Tigran Karapetyan and Armen Rustamyan.

    As to the question who you would vote for if the voting were this
    Sunday, 38 percent said they would vote for Serge Sargsyan, 13
    percent would vote for Raffi Hovannisian, 12 percent would vote Arthur
    Baghdasaryan. Geghamyan is given 8 percent, Levon Ter-Petrosyan is
    given 6 percent. Vazgen Manukyan is given 5 percent, Gagik Tsarukyan
    is given 4 percent, Tigran Karapetyan and Vahan Hovanisyan are given
    4 percent each, and Aram Karapetyan, Stepan Demirchyan and Armen
    Rustamyan have 1 percent each.

    The director of ComRes Andrew Hawkins says they have conducted similar
    polls in the U.K. and France at different times but there were not
    so many candidates, and no candidate had such advantage as Serge
    Sargsyan. Hawkins also said who had ordered the poll - PR Association
    and the CS Media Company owned by Cafesjian and the owner of Armenia
    TV the Sargsyan family.

    They collaborated with the Armenian Sociological Association the head
    of which is Gevorg Poghosyan. Gevorg Poghosyan had earlier conducted a
    poll with the Gallup Institute, and the results of his poll suggested
    that Serge Sargsyan ranks four among other likely candidates, after
    Raffi Hovannisian, Gagik Tsarukyan and Vardan Oskanyan.
